Gdi1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables Rab GDP-dissociation inhibitor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of axonogenesis; positive regulation of axon extension; and response to calcium ion. Located in axon; myelin sheath; and neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in presynaptic cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability; non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 41; and psychotic disorder. Orthologous to human GDI1 (GDP dissociation inhibitor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Gdi1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
